Summary:
This core provides
services to obtain histological sections and related
methods for all the projects. The core provides
training and individualized procedure development for
tissue preparation, immunohistochemistry, and in situ
hybridization. Digital image analysis facilities will
also be available. All the projects require these types
of analysis and will utilize this core.
Services:
All services will be
processed through Histology Core laboratory (Dr. Kwan
Hee Kim's laboratory, Heald 431, Washington State
University).
Reduced rates and prompt processing for tissue preparation, cutting, staining at Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (see Table 1). The anticipated turn-around time is 2 weeks.
Reduced rates for confocal microscopy usage at Electron Microscopy Center. Individual investigators in the Center for Reproductive Biology will pay $12.50/hour, which is 50% of the current charge.
Training and procedure development will be available for Immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, light microscopy, digital imaging, and confocal microscopy
Coordinate annual microscope cleaning and maintenance service: This service is available in Spring. Fee covers microscope cleaning and the share of the technician's travel cost from Seattle.
